How do I calculate my net income as an international freelancer?

To calculate your net income as an international freelancer, you need to account for: gross income from clients, payment processing fees (PayPal, Wise, etc.), currency conversion costs, income taxes in your country, social security contributions, and any applicable VAT/GST. Our calculator handles all these automatically.

What are typical PayPal fees for freelancers?

PayPal typically charges 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction for domestic payments, and 4.4% + fixed fee for international payments. Currency conversion adds another 3-4%. Our calculator compares fees across PayPal, Wise, Payoneer, and bank transfers.

How much tax do freelancers pay on international income?

Freelancer tax rates vary by country, typically ranging from 15-45% for income tax plus 10-20% for social security. Some countries have special rates for self-employed individuals. Our calculator estimates taxes based on your residence country.

Which payment method has the lowest fees for freelancers?

Wise (formerly TransferWise) generally offers the lowest fees for international transfers with transparent exchange rates. Bank transfers can be cheaper for large amounts. Our calculator compares all major payment methods side-by-side.
